After almost fifty days away from the official agenda due to an abdominal operation whose details are kept secret, Kate Middleton has made her long-awaited reappearance. Although virtually and with an expiration date.
The Princess of Wales has chosen a date as important as International Women’s Day to return to the fray with her husband, Prince William, through Instagram. Thus, through the stories, the couple has shared some emotional photos of Kate with prominent women who have marked a before and after in her life, accompanied by a message that includes the moment of her reappearance.
“Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating the impact of incredible women today and every day. These are just some of the brightest who have inspired us in the last 12 months,” announced the message from the Princes of Wales, which included images of the princess with inspiring figures such as Emilia Clarke, Bianca Sakol and Dr. Gubby Ayida.
Rumors about Kate Middleton’s health gained strength after her prolonged absence from the public scene without a concrete explanation beyond having undergone abdominal surgery. This secrecy fueled a great deal of speculation and rumors. Her last appearance was captured by paparazzi while she was traveling in a car with her mother, Carole Middleton, an image that raised questions about her authenticity.
Kensington Palace remained firm in its policy of silence regarding Middleton’s condition, of which they only ruled out that she had cancer, and stressed that any important news would be communicated at the appropriate time. “We were very clear from the beginning that the Princess of Wales would be on leave until after Easter and that Kensington Palace would only provide updates when something was significant,” they explained from the institution.
This period of the princess’s convalescence has been surrounded by intense public and media interest, which has evidenced the desire of the princess and her family to maintain a certain normality for their children and preserve the privacy of their personal medical information. Despite efforts to maintain secrecy, curiosity and concern for the well-being of the future heir consort remain a topic of national and international interest.
The comments of Gary Goldsmith, Kate’s uncle, have added fuel to the fire by speculating about the princess’s health. He hasn’t said anything concrete, but he has let it slip that it is serious. “She doesn’t want to talk about it… the last thing I’m going to do is… There’s some kind of code. If it’s announced what’s happening to her, I’ll give you an opinion,” he told Page Six.
